However, I have now entered it into my PDA, so I should be able to join celebrations on time without being surprised. Peace, Tim Bram.

I've submitted it to the corporate calendar, so there's always that chance that everyone in my company will be celebrating with a collective "HUH!??!" I think it's fitting. Unlikely, but fitting. I'm sure InfoSys won't add it to the official list. They love me.

Well, Michael chose to use an earlier date to label the latest date, for reasons of his own, and I merely followed suit when starting this thread. The significant day I referred to, as you no doubt know by now, is the 384th anniversary of the Defenestration of Prague, which is the most significant of Jihad holy days.

mouse Thu May 23 14:18:41 2002 yaaaaaay! indeed congratulations emsworth! and i love your blurb - it is so toonbotty, and yet so _you_. > The significant day I referred to, as you no doubt know by now, is the > 384th anniversary of the Defenestration of Prague, which is the most > significant of Jihad holy days. hmmmmmm.....hope michael had it in his calendar this year.....

Michael Thu May 23 16:14:30 2002 Re: yaaaaaay! indeed > hmmmmmm.....hope michael had it in his calendar this year..... Actually I was shooting for a wftk v1.0 release today. I very much doubt that anyone in the open-source movement would realize the importance of the date, but hey. I cultivate an image of being offbeat even among the offbeat.

Michael Thu May 23 16:11:25 2002 May 22, anyway Sigh. This is your metacartoonist on drugs. I originally published this episode as 20020222, even thinking, wow, lots of 2's. Not realizing, of course, that May is typically not considered the second month.

Not realizing, of > course, that May is typically not considered the second month. ah! but mayvember would be (11+5)/2 = ...8....which isn't much help...unless! you change the date to 020222, then 0+2+0+2+2+2 = 8! i love math games.
